The new PUMA Golf x Realtree collection will debut at this year’s WM Phoenix Open tournament.
This week, hunters and anglers who also enjoy golfing — and golfers who also enjoy hunting and fishing — will get to see an exciting new collaboration between Realtree Camo and PUMA Golf. The PUMA x Realtree collection features performance gear from PUMA including shoes, shorts, polos, hoodies, and rain gear decked out in Realtree EDGE. PGA Tour pro and PUMA Golf ambassador Rickie Fowler will be wearing the new camo gear head-to-toe on Thursday at this year’s WM Phoenix Open.
Chris MacNeill, director of PLM Apparel and Accessories for PUMA Golf, believes that camouflage is a natural fit for the golf course. “We see golfers and hunters as having a lot in common,” MacNeill said. “A lot of these guys just love the outdoors and being in the natural environment. And Realtree is having a moment in the fashion space. It’s been all over sportswear and streetwear, and though we’ve seen a couple other brands in golf dabble in camo, none have had the authenticity of going through a brand like Realtree.”

Mike Diaz, director of marketing for PUMA Golf, says that Rickie Fowler is a perfect fit for helping launch the new collaboration. Fowler is one of the biggest names in golf, and well known for his stand-out style. He’s also an avid angler and outdoors enthusiast. “Rickie has been with us for 15 years, and he’s helped set trends on the golf and PGA Tour landscape,” Diaz says. “That’s what we’ve always loved about him. The PUMA brand is willing to push the envelope when it comes to doing different things on tour, and Rickie has helped bring that to the fairways.”
The Waste Management Phoenix Open, often called “The People’s Open,” is held at the TPC Scottsdale course in Scottsdale, Arizona. The event well known for its party atmosphere, laid-back vibe, and big crowds of fans. MacNeill said it’s the perfect venue for launching the PUMA x Realtree collection. “Waste Management is where they bring all the energy,” he said. “If you’re going to do something ‘wow’ and out there for golf, it’s the perfect place. The fanbase and culture there is perfect.”
This year’s tournament is Feb. 6-9.
